Wood Lane station
 

I gather this opened today, with the Shepherds Bush to Shepherds Bush
Market renaming at the same time. I gather that completes the rail
openings in that area.

Anyone been?

They kept that quiet. I was confused when I saw all the tube maps at
various parts of the network with the station marked as open yesterday

If only the H&C had a decent frequency or speed

They intend to double it in the next couple of years when it becomes the
'Hammersmith and Circle'.

Just back from a trip. It's open.

Quite impressed! I like building around the arches and there are
plenty of lifts which is a great idea given the shopping centre's
proximity.

It gets referred to as "Circle and Hammersmith" on a number of the
automatic announcements already, and has been for some time.

Anyone know if the platform length beyond the barriers is to allow for
longer S stock trains when they come into service?

I got an e-mail from TFL this morning to tell me it had opened (are they
using Oystercard data to target these?) and a nice leaflet on all the
new transport facilities in the area.

I don't know why people malign the H&C so much on those topics. It's
remarkably handy living in this part of West London to be able to use
the H&C rather than the District to reach places like Edgware Road.

Is Paddington in 12 minutes from Goldhawk Road really that slow?
Certainly once the 8 minute service

And on what other line would a driver get out of his cab and help a
blind guy with their journey or even re-open the doors when he sees me
dahsing up the steps at Goldhawk Road. It's a much more village railway
feel I guess and you can hate some aspects of that, but that has other
merits!

Used the new Shepherds Bush Central Line yesterday, very dislocating the
way the station is now set so far back. Also, unless they radically
rephase the lights in favour of pedestrians there is going to be a
permanent queue of them crossing the road outside.

I had a look during my visit. The lengths of the open and closed
sections are exactly right for this to be the case.

If I still had a blog, I'd note that after the opening of Wood Lane
and the unravelling of the Circle Line there'll be no changes to the
tube network for the foreseeable future*. And as far as I can tell,
there are no new stations or new lines of any kind due between the
opening of the current DLR extensions, ELL and Imperial Wharf (ca.
2011) and Crossrail (ca. 2017 if it happens). Have I got that right?

* Split of the Northern Line maybe, Bakerloo to Watford unlikely,
Bakerloo or Northern extensions south, double unlikely.
